Short summary
This study explores using drone-acquired digital terrain models (DTMs) for flood modeling of mountainous urban rivers. Terrain analysis indicates that a DTM resolution of 1 m–5 m is optimal for accurate flood modeling. In larger cities with non-extreme discharge volumes, a resolution of 5 m–10 m can suffice for modeling inundation areas, although it may slightly overestimate flood depth. This provides a balance between model accuracy and processing costs.
